The statistics are staggering: one in five adults in the U.S. struggles with a mental health challenge. From anxiety to depression, mental health impacts overall health across diverse settings, including where people live, play, and work.
In the workplace, 61% of U.S., workers report experiencing at least one mental health symptom (e.g., burnout, depression, anxiety). Employers increasingly recognize that mental health challenges are the norm, and seek to provide mental health benefits to support their employees’ well-being. In turn, they are fostering a healthier, more productive and resilient workforce. To that end, most employers realize that cultivating a supportive work environment extends beyond traditional health plan offerings, but choosing a mental health benefit can be challenging given the surplus of solutions with varying areas of focus.
